Abstract

From the historical point of view, the religious “conflicts and disputations” were always part of political and social transformations, since there is no oneness concerning religions and religiosities in Brazil as well as in any other part of the world. Aiming to build a society with more justice in which tolerance, respect, plurality, freedoms and human rights can truly be respected, a group of religious people, most of them adherents of religions od African matrix, founded in 2008 the Committee of Combat against Religious Intolerance and they annually organize the Walk in Defense of Freedom, currently in its 12th edition. The event takes place annually in the city of Rio de janeiro and its goal is to promote interfaith dialogues and meetings in order to advance actions for peace between the religions.
